Exposition, Quote 1
“For Brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name),
Disdaining Fortune with his brandished steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like Valour’s minion, carved out his passage,
Till he faced the slave,
Which n’er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,
Till he unseamed him from the nave to th’chops”

Rising Action, Quote 1
“Commends th’ingredience of our poisoned chalice
to our own lips. He’s here in double trust:
First I am his Kinsman, and his subject,
Strong both against the deed. Then, as his host…
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels”
Rising action, Quote 2

Climax+Denoument, Quote 1
“I have lived long enough: my way of life. Is fallen into the sere the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends. I must not look to have; but in their stead, Curses not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath Which poor heart would fain deny,”
Climax+Denoument, Quote 2
“Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time;”
